Early afternoon sunlight spilled across the bustling shopping district as Sui stepped out of the store, her shoulder bag swinging gently with each hurried stride. The crowd was thick with motion—voices, footsteps, and the rustle of bags blending into a lively urban rhythm.

She paused near a storefront window, pulling out her shopping list. Most items were already checked off, the ink slightly smudged from use.*

"Let’s see... five skeins of multicolored wool, Coats & Clark all-purpose thread, and one red yarn. Looks like everything’s accounted for."

With a confirmed nod, Sui tucked the list away and turned toward the direction of the Parallel Flight office. Her pace steadied, the errand complete, her mind already shifting back to the designs waiting on her desk.
